Naturopathically, joint pain may result from digestive insufficiencies whereby larger proteins migrate into circulation through gaps in the intestinal walls. This is often called "leaky gut." I recommend apple cider vinegar in a little water 15-20 minutes prior to each meal to stimulate the production of stomach acid, so foods can be broken down more completely.
